@Llp Sdgehulc reirmt tu im Igese etitts @tient mit making vmet si tht tmi.

Be it known thet-I,WILLIM H. PARLIN, of Canton, in the county of Fulton, and State of Illinois, .have invented a newanvd useful improvement in manner of making Corn-Gultivators; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, und exact description of the manner of constructing and operating the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, inlwhich- Figure 1 is a perspective view.

Figure 2 is a ver-tical section,`

Figure 3 is a rear section, and

Figure 4 is a-longtudinal view. l

The nature of my invention consists inimakingA the frame, connecting the tongue andv wheels, of the most simple, durable, und economical formaud material; also (when the ploughs are adjusted to a Wider or narrower furrow) in nn adjustable hook to lhold the beam elevated inturnin",r or upon the road.

To enable others skilled in the manufacture of such implements to make and use my invention, I'will more particularly describe its-construction and opera-tion.. v p l 0f suitable iron, of proper width' and thickness, I bend or forin the bars A of the pattern, as indicated iu drawings, so thatV the points G G';. figs. 2 n nri 4, are about thirty-two inches distant from each other, and the points of attachment t0 either axle at'B D, iig. 2, nre about thirty-two inches from each other. The upper ends are bolted to the tongue H, undv lowerones or middle of a, to casting B. The height of frame, or casting B, tovwhich the plough-beams D D are attached, is regulated by the adjustable standard-J. To the-lattcr'end of tongue I secure the beam-holder C of proper iron cnsting, with lower end oi',under` side grooved to receive a portion of the'surfuce of the adjustable hookelc c, iig. 3, having their points in the same direction, antilin which I suspend the rods E E,by lifting the beams D As the width of furrow is increased or lessened by securing clevis to several holes in B B, so I extend or withdraw the. hooks 7c 7ca.nd secure them in proper place by bolt hooks] l, fig. 3. l

I hereby expressly disclaim all parts of said cultivatorus represented' in said drawings, except-ing only those designated es A und K, made in the sume or substantially the same form or manner, upon Vthe principle and for the uses herein described. Y

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isi-- The strong, durable, andv economical frame, orA attachment between the tongue and axle. or wheels, as securedby the simple bars A, in manner and form as shown, or in any similar form, upon the same principle.

I also claim the extension hooks k l, in the beam-holder C, substantially as above described, and as in drawings shown, or any similar hook, in similar connections, and for the uses herein described.
